Romance and Sensuality

To be romantic is to blind yourself.To be sensual is to touch yourself.To be blind is the only way to be happy.To be touched is the only way to feel.

Some of you may dissent with the way I plan to twist these words to suit my purposes. Too bad.

Sensual is more raw, more about arousal and bliss. Romance is about the other person. Romance, as commonly understood, is about trying to make your entire existence together like a dream or a poem, or a cloud. Sensual is about wringing pleasure from whatever your existence throws at you. Romance has little to do with sex when it comes to it (and although sex can be involved, it is never as satisfying as the sensual, because sensual is the expert in those matters).

Romance is either an innocence or a lie. You cannot be romantic unless your heart is unspoiled, you can only fake it.Sensual cannot be ignorant. You cannot be sensual unless something in you is aware, has been awakened, although some people have been known to possess a pre-awakening spark. These people are usually quickly awakened by the nearest bidder.

Romance is candlelight or sunlight. Sensual is pitch black and soaked. Romance is a feather. Sensual is a red scratch blossoming down your chest, across your stomach.

And I read this somewhere. Paraphrased:Romance is your eyes meeting across a crowded room.Sensuality is your tongues meeting across a crowded room.

Sorry this isn't longer. You know it very well could be. It was the best I could muster up under the circumstances.

Good lord, you did it again. Did you ask these guys if you could put their picture on your blog? I know for a fact that this is another personal picture only meant for certain places. You'd think you'd learn your lesson the first time in not putting that kind of picture up on your blog if you didn't ask.

My email is available if these people want to negogiate. You know I am open minded. But all you slimy, busy bodying, fork tongued gossipers need to just mind your own business and quit inciting people. The hurt you create belongs to you and no one else.

hehe, just kidding. But yes, honestly. I think prudes shouldn't even TAKE photos in the first place. You have to understand. If you take the photo (or make the song, in the case of music), it will most likely eventually end up online, and chances are, posted on this web page. So please don't be ashamed of yourselves--I'm not ashamed of you! You're beautiful!

joe!!! i have no stance on the subject, but you are STUBBORN!i think the only difference between talking nicely and talking bitterly to you is in getting a nice negative answer or bitter negative answer. I mean, changing your mind is really out of the question isn't it. You should say that in the beginning.

Why don't you nosey, irritating, self-righteous people just mind your own business. Okay? Okay. Were you the photographer? No. Can you even FIND this picture elsewhere on the Internet these days? No. So could you please stop "assuming," stop "should-ing," stop putting your hallowed, sanctified, morally putrid views where they are unwanted, and leave me alone. Other than that, I love you.

I don't think I'm being self righteous Joe, I just want to know if you have permission to show this pic on a GP site or not. It's just a yes or no question. Judging from your reaction I can guess that the answer is probably no.

Maybe you have every legal right to post these kinds of pictures on the net. But as family members we should be trying to do the loving thing and if posting someone's private photos causes someone to stumble then the loving thing to do would be to take it down. If the photographer asked you to post it then that would be a differnt story.

I probably shouldn't be contributing to this discussion, but my husband was the photographer, and he doesn't care, (tho' sometimes he does, but in this case, the photo wasn't stolen from him or even posted by him in the first place, the models themselves posted it, so it's their perogative.)

--And I have to say, one of these days, it will be the coolest thing to be naked on Joes Blog. :)

ha, this is all so funny.People get so worked up....and readers please realize that you could talk yourself blue in the face but about copyright issues but Joe is still going to post whatever he wants.If you don't want your pics on Joe's site then don't post them on the internet.

It's nice when the person is not anonymous. See, I know Dave. If I had known which Dave, I would have known the idea behind his comment, instead of overreacting.The anonymous face is, as a rule, clouded, dark, and stupid.
